QUESTION: Hi,

I was just wondering if the vegetable/fruit juicer machines give you an adequate amount of vitamins and minerals?

Also, is taking Creatine Monohydrate powder bad for your body?

Thanks for your time,
Justin.
ANSWER: Juicers give you far more vitamins and minerals than you could possibly get from just trying to eat the same amount of raw foods.  I use one myself and highly recommend them to my clients.

Creatine is normally found in the human body, stored in the muscles.  It can be obtained through eating fish and other meats since the fish and animals also store it in their muscles.  However, not all synthetic products are alike and some have been found to have steroid compounds mixed in.

Overall, however, creatine supplementation is a relatively safe practice, if a person is in overall good health and if undertaken with moderation using only high-quality products.

Thank you for your question, Justin.  I hope that my answer has helped you.

QUESTION: Great thanks for your help!

One last question, which juicer machine do you suggest buying? There are so many out there and I just want one that is not too expensive, easy to clean, and gives a lot of juice.

Thanks again!

Answer
I don't typically recommend any particular brand although higher speed models work best.  They are usually $75-100 dollars but will last for a long time.  My juicer is a model made by Krups and has lasted over 4 years so far.  They all a bit difficult to clean but they all provide great juice.

Thanks for the follow-up, Justin.
